Who is the coach that calls players a dude all the time?

Guesses on which coach commented on each team? I think CMC had Texas Tech.

Each segment is a small quote from a different coach I believe.

This is one of my favorite regular features of the Athlon preview.

Love it

"You can really tell Matt has established a new identity. They have new traditions, a new mindset that's different than anything we've seen from Iowa State before."

I can't wait for the "Big 10 Coaches Talk Ominously" Article

"A lot of great positional coaches are going to be looking for work outside the Big 10"

"There's no way we're playing this spring"

And the classic...

This is one of my favorite pieces each and every year. It's great to see the respect given albeit confidentially/anonymously.

They say “coaches”. I never assume it’s head coaches.

I always assume it’s assistants. Got to find the Matt Abdelmassih of each staff.

Oklahoma is 'committed' to continue on toward 2020 football season despite report

That's that. There was a report from Sports Illustrated that said Oklahoma was "against the sentiment" of the other Big 12 schools in continuing toward a 2020 season. The Sooners have not said anything official about the push for football this fall, even with…

I'd like to see some media person have the courage to ask CMC, Klieman, or Gundy if they ever spoke to this rag anonymously about other coaches. But that's asking a lot of sports media, whose primary role is cheerleading and clickbait. These are probably comments from the school's sports information director or play-by-play man at best.

Pretty worthless article. Almost all of those comments could have been made without anonymity. If you're going to get coaches to anonymously comment on their opponents I'd like to see juicer comments than 'That guys is a dude' and 'Coach has done a really good job'

This is the type of content I'm looking for:
'I like Texas this year. With the social distancing, coach Herman will have to stay out of strip clubs so he can devote his full attention to keeping his team from underachieving again'
